As Ex comments, a good technician with a laptop could probably diagnose your problem in minutes
Its something I've considered "investing" in the software but with my current "hardware" troubles I have put it on the back burner
If it costs more than £25 to £30 its a rip off in my opinion, considering that the operator is likely to make money retifying the fault
Maybe I'm just too reasonable

Thanks for that guys, when i said i missed the lights i meant the traffic lights, I have rang vendor 8 times he just says it was alright when it left him! I don't know how I stand as I paid him cash do I have any come back? I have no confidence to ride it now so I am feeling a bit pissed off, any advice guys?

peter if you bought it from a shop you have all the rigts anyone would have under the sale of goods act. if the bike isn't fit for purpose the should sort it.
Unfortunately caveat emptor ! I suggest dion some research (local) for diagnostic services and get a few quotes If the bike was a bargain then you should consider whether its worth another £50 or so If not then it weren't such a bargain Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings All the best Keep us posted Maybe someone else has an idea of what it might be Em
Well I paid double the book price because it looks the bollocks and I just had to have it, I want to send it back but I want it! so i will go your route Em and try and find a diagnstic guy so far I have found no one in Manchester! the Superbike Suzuki dealer doesn't even service bikes......pretty poor show really
Update, after many phone calls 18 in total the dealer has agreed to get the bike fixed for me, lets hope persistance pays off, thanks for your help guys and gals.
IT'S very decent of you not mentioning the dealers name P ,cos word of mouth advertising could have cost him sales ...but alls well that ends well,as EM says good luck , the BUSA is a top notch bike!
caveat emptor does not apply to shops. No matter how they try to wriggle out of it. It only applies to private transactions and even then there can be legal comebacks.
When Peter first posted his question about the Busa he did not mention that it was bought from a dealer!! If he had I would have advised straight away to take it back to the dealer as the law says your contract is with the vendor and goods must be "fit for purpose" or "of merchantable quality" Private sales do create different legal parameters, depending on how the goods are advertised, ie; "sold as seen" or "spare parts only" Then it really is caveat emptor
As I stated before...It has little or no standing; why? Because The law has come around to bias Caveat Venditor or "seller beware" To make sure they describe and supply goods fit for the job, however there are certain professions that are exempt. Jewelers are one because they cannot in any reasonable way properly define "fit for purpose".........I thought a diamond ring had to drop knickers at 50 paces meself!
I know a couple of bike dealers that would struggle!....One of them a very large shop in the Midlands. A lot of magazines inc MCN use him for test bikes as well, he is currently to date pending 13 claims of fraud and serious neglect. People like that don't deserve to be in business.
Caveat emptor is still a sound practice to follow though, whatever the goods. Personally I blame the Yanks. (universal get out)
Unfortunately, where the law is concerned there is usually only one sure winner !!
THE LAWYER
Yep the yanks have a lot to answer for GH but we taught them how to use the law so we are culpable too
Yes emzed it was from a large dealer in bikes I thought it best to keep his name out of it while there was a chance he could make amends, he has taken bike back hopefully all will be well on its return..........re solicitors........it is an anagram for clitoris !!!
